What was your longest obsession?

[The Anhk24]

It's the new year, time to pick up new things and let old things go.

Do you have an unhealthy habit, obsession and infatuation? What was it and how long was it?

Is it time to let it go?

I can't let it go im in love with it. Yes my unhealthy obsession/addiction is my fiance. Though i have set at least 10 Newyears resolutions to stop myself from annoying him im finding im strugglnig within the first day. I just find i want to be closer to him but he's always busy or out or with friends. I sit for hours (and im doing it at the moment) waiting for him to come online but usually its in vain. Yesterday besides at 1am to wish him Happy New Year i didn't speak to him all day. Eventually at midnight last night he called to say goodnight.
Im easily upset and agrivated when he isn't there. I don't know why but if i've spoken to him or seen him i feel better. If i havn't then my mood drops. Now im trying to untie that "bond" so that i can survive without him and so that he can live his own life without me in his shadow. Its going to take a lot. As i pointed out to him, he is like a drug to me (Yes its from Twilight, the one good quote that actually means something), for me a "fix" of seeing him or chatting to him keeps me "high" all day. Without i end up craving and wanting. Now you can see why its unhealthy. Im like a junkie coming off the drugs. My resolutions are a "rehab" and my games are my distractions. It will still take a while for me to come off him completly but if he sticks by and waits patiently im sure it will soon end. I'll always love him but it will be in the correct way. Not this "school girl crush" mode.

(sorry for being extremely sickly, im sure you weren't expecting to hear this on this thread but i've realised when i saw this thread that it is exactly what im doing).

If the dude is that much of a jackass he doesn't talk to his finacee, then leave him, move away from him, move in with family, stay with them to your comfortable to go on your
own

I don't actually live with him which is a quarter of the problem. We can't afford to. I can't blame him entirely. I've heard what his dad is like and i hate him sometimes. He and my mother are slave drivers. All they want is for us not to have a life. If it isn't his dad its the rest of his family causing problems, or his friends needing a hand (which ok, he doesnt see some of them that often). These hols have been hard, he's had to spend time with family and so i've been unable to see him at all besides the one day i got him to come down to mine and even then, his dad called him in a bad mood and so he left 2hrs early to go ease the situation...I could have strangled his dad that night. Since then ive waited for him to come online. It doesn't help much we have an assignment due after the hols which i don't fully understand and last i checked he hadnt even started. He promised to help but obviously hasn't been able to. I've got as much as i can do alone, and i know i shouldn't rely on him so much but he is the only one who i can contact for the work since the teacher won't get the email i sent until its too late. One day things will sort themselves out, in other words when we ever get the money to run. Right now, i just have to grin and bare it, avoid pissing him off so that he doesn't purposly answer and sit tight and hope he has the common sense to txt or call (which thankgod he did last night at midnight having not spoken to him all day...it was a relief to hear his voice once more).

wow that must suck...something I learned from my sister who raised me because my parents were too busy is that you shouldn't depend on anyone. you can always try to find another classmate who has done the work, or just at least take a shot for it and be able to say you tried...I have also learned running doesn't solve anything and your troubles will always follow you no matter where you go

I've done gaming quite a lot in my life, but I'd rather get rid of smoking cigarettes or the daily energy drinks.

 

[Distorted Stu]

It was 4chan.. i was on it every day day of every damn hour unless i was away from a computer. I havnt been on in a year, not since its turned completly retarded. I pop on now and then to catch up on news & lulz.

I would find someone else if i new them. All besides me and another girl are boys. I get nervous around guys and usually avoid too much contact. I also find that most of them know eachother and hang around together. I don't have anyone's email so i can't contact them. I'm sure i'll pull through as i always have without help but i would have liked to have had even some. Although yes my lad did do some work for me but it was work i didn't really need as such and he wasn't aloud to. The teacher had said we had to do it alone. Now when i actually need the help he isn't there... Like i said, i can't blame him. I know his life is as hectic as mine.

I know the whole shy thing...alot of people are nicer than they seem though, I go to a school where moth of the kids are either ghetto, act ghetto, or are preps...surprisingly the ghetto kids may seem intimidating but they're nice and besides one person I haven't found one person who doesn't have any kindness...try to make friends with the guys they're probably nice people, and then maybe they could help you out when you need it

Ugh... I played RuneScape for years. I mean, it was enjoyable sometimes, but it just turned into addiction and ruined any chance of me having a social life. I'm going nowhere near it again. Oh well, I did make some good internet friends from it though, so it wasn't all bad.

Zombies, Though I think that was just something to do to kill time in the summer.

It's a tie between gaming, salad cream, and cream soda.

3 very important things to my life.

 

[Gotham Soul]

World of Warcraft, and I don't intend to stop.

Obsession: BF2, from release to this year. The 2.5/3 years was solid, slowed down drastically after that. Amassed well over 1500 hours over multiple accounts, owned multiple servers and ran a clan for a time.

Unhealthy habit: Going to bed late. I normally have to get up between 5-6am for work, but that doesn't stop me hitting the hay at the earliest of 11:30pm. I wish I could go to bed and straight to sleep at 10/10:30pm and have a good 7-8 hours, I know it'd make getting up so much easier and generally make me feel much better about the whole day but I feel like i'm wasting precious hours if I go to bed early (cus spending those hours browsing forums/playing games isn't a waste at all/sarcasm)
